What's new with Chromebook?
Chromebooks update automatically to provide you with the latest features and keep the software fresh and speedy. Here are some highlights from recent updates.
Share files fast with Nearby Share
With Nearby Share, quickly and securely share files between your Chromebook and other Chrome OS or Android devices. You’ll be able to send and receive without giving your contact details, so your information and files stay private. Get started by going to your Settings 
and toggling “Nearby Share” on.
See answers automatically
You may already use your Launcher to search for apps, your files, results on Google and more. Now it’ll automatically show answers like simple calculations or weather information without you needing to open up a new browser window. Try it now by pressing the Everything Button ( 
or 
) and typing “weather” into the search bar.
Get notified with app badges
Check which of your apps need your attention with a glance. If you see a small circular badge on an app icon, this indicates that the app has active notifications available or something new for you to view. You can turn these badges off by visiting your Quick Settings and clicking “Notifications”.
Troubleshooting at your fingertips
Easily troubleshoot your Chromebook with the new Diagnostics app. You can check the status of your laptop’s battery, CPU and memory, and run tests. So if you notice your battery is draining faster than expected, you can check its health right from the app. Open it now by pressing the Everything Button ( or ) and searching “Diagnostics”.
